lf the clearance are not within the standard, mea-
sure the width of the grooves in the reverse shift
holder.
Standard:

NOTE;
. Use a straight edge and depth gauge.. Measure at three locations and average the read-ings.
Select the prcpet 72 mm thrust shim from the chartby using the formula below.
NOTE: Us€ only one 72 mm thrust sntm.
Shim Selection Formula:
From the measurements you made in steps 4 and 5:. Add distance O lstep 5) to distance @ (step 4).
. From this number, subtract 0.93 (which is themidpoint of the flex range of the clutch housingbearing spring washer).
. Take this number and compare it to the availableshim sizes in the chart.
{For example)
B;2.39
+ C: 0.22- 0.93
2.61 = 1.68
Try the 1.68 mm (0.0661 in) shim.
